The blast furnace remains the cornerstone of high‐volume ironmaking, utilising complex thermal and chemical reactions to reduce iron oxides into molten iron. Contemporary operations place increasing ...

With a staff of over 80,000, Ukraine-headquartered Metinvest is a major name in end-to-end steel production. Looking to improve the efficiency of its blast furnaces — reducing fuel consumption by ...

Three UNLV professors are working on an iron-production method that doesn’t generate carbon emissions, part of an effort to clean up one of the world’s dirtiest industries. The U.S. Department of ...

China's waste incineration industry has grown rapidly, with about 90% of projects using the mechanical grate furnace process. However, municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI FA), classified ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom say they have designed an adaptation for existing iron and steel blast furnaces that could reduce carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions by ...

The process of ironmaking has relied for centuries on iron ore, an impure form of iron oxide, slowly being reduced to iron by carbon monoxide in a furnace. Whether that furnace is the charcoal fire of ...

A rare decarbonization idea that looks as good for business as it does for the planet. This system promises to radically reduce carbon dioxide emissions for 70% of steelmakers, while generating ...
